Birmingham, Mich„ were at Former Resident Marks 99 Years At Huronview BAYFIELD—Congratulations and best wishes go to Mrs. William J. Stinson who on May 23, marked her 99th birthday. Mrs. Stinson, who has been hospitalized since 1951 became a resident of Huronview in 1962. She is confined to bed and so a quiet celebration was held in her room with her son H. A. Stinson, Bayfield, and younger daughter', Mrs. A. F. Furter, London, attending, making the day a happy occasion. Mrs. Stinson was possessed of a very keen memory. She once described starting to school in Bayfield to Master. Plunkett. "I tell you, there was no lack of discipline then. We did- n't dare raise our eyes from our slates, because if we did, we might get a crack over the fingers with the pointer. We kept our minds on our ABC's, etc." And in a more happy vein she described the store front of the W. W. Connor place (now the Baptist Parsonage) and the windows being filled with geraniums. Evidently, s h e , Elizabeth Gemeinhardt, was a favourite of Mrs. Connor because she'd watch for her going home from school. "Come on in and see my geraniums, dearie," she'd coax. And of the choice ones, the old lady would promise: "Some- day give ye a slip o' that one." "But," said Mrs. Stinson to the writer, "that day never came," Perhaps that is where Mrs. Stinson gained her love for ger- aniums which filled her win- dOw in winter and bloomed at the front of the house in summer as long as she occupied her home on.

The service was in the charge of the minister, Rev, Ross McDonald, Hensel], as- sisted by the Rev, D. J. Lane, D,D., Clinton, who gave the funeral address. He stressed the beauty of a Christian life, victorious over death. Miss Lottie Greer played favorite hymns softly on the organ. The pallbearers were: E, J. Sturgeon, Malcolm Toms, Al- fred Scotchmer, Grant Turner, Leslie Elliott and Fred Weston. Interment was made in the Ferguson family plot in Bay- field cemetery. Born December 16, 1874, in East Wawanosh Township, near. Belgrave, the deceased was a daughter of Peter Porterfield and Mary Stevenson, early pioneers of that district. She attended Clinton Collegi- ate Institute and Clinton Model School. She taught school in Wawa- nosh Township before coming to Bayfield in 1893. After teaching here three years, she returned to her parents' home. Her father was postmaster of the little settlement of Mar- noch and the office was in their home. In January, 1899, Margaret Porterfield returned to Bay- field as the bride of James Ferguson and took up resi- dence in the house on Colina Street in which she lived until she entered Parkwood Hospital 10 years ago. She passed away there on May 15 in her 89th year. Tragedy struck on August 19, 1905, when James Fergus- on's fishing boat capsized in a storm and he, with his two crewmen, were lost. Widowed, with one son, Jam- es P. Ferguson, she resumed teaching again in the lower room of Bayfield Public School about 1908 and continued until the summer 1919. Devoted to her son and home Mrs. Ferguson's life was also one of service to her church and the community. She was always sympathetic to young folk, keenly interested in their studies and their progress in life. Nothing delighted her more than to have former pup- ils call on her, on their return to Bayfield. And as time went on she was highly impressed with the more modern and attractive facilities for both pupils and teachers. She saw the new Bayfield School on a visit here after entering Parkwood. Intensely patriotic, Mrs. Fer- guson took an active part in Red Cross and community wel- fare. And many recall her neighborly kindness, the thoughtful gestures which count for so much. A staunch Presbyterian, she taught Sunday school, was a member of the WMS, and or- ganist from 1908 to 1925, in St. Andrew's Church. Following Farewell Party The Brucefield United Church Women gathered in the school room of the church on Monday evening, May 27, to wish Rev. and Mrs. H. John- ston their good wishes in their new home in Stratford, The evening opened with singing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds", followed by a piano solo by Miss Margaret McQueen. The Hendrick twins, daugh- ters of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hendrick, Kippen, accompanied by their aunt, Mrs. Alex Mc- Beath, sang very beautifully. Mrs. .‘ Mac Wilson and Mrs. D. Triebner sang a duet which was much enjoyed, accompan- ied by Mrs. J. R. Murdock. Mrs. George Henderson played a very beautiful piano solo and Unit 4, led by Mrs. F. Mc- Gregor, sang a number of old time songs. The most interesting part of the program was the presenta- tion of a chair to Mrs. John- ston. Mrs. Harvey Taylor read the address and Mrs. Al- lan Hill and Mrs. Betty St. Louis presented the gift. Mrs. Johnston thanked everyone for their kindness to her. Unit four, the Mother's Group, served a dainty lunch. Messengers Meet The May meeting of the Brucefield Messengers was held on Sunday and there were 23 in attendance. During the business period the members were in favour of having a card of welcome sent to the new minister, Mr. Plant and his family. The children were encouraged to save what they can in mite boxes to help repair the wall to the Sunday school room. Boys were reminded of the week of camp in` August. In- formation is available from Mr. N. Walker. Providing leader- church union, she continued as organist and other activities with the Knox Presbyterian congregation. In all, she had been organist for 45 years and played for the service the day she took sick. Surviving are her sister, Mrs, Ernest (Mary) Geddes, Sea- forth, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. James P. Ferguson, Lon- don. Her son, Publicity Executive of the London Life Assurance Company, predeceased her No- vember 5, 1962. Among those from a distance attending the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pollock, Mrs. Burns Jerry, Goderich; Mrs. W. A. Balkwill, Mr. and Mrs. William Balkwill, Both- well; Mr. and Mrs. E. Geddes, Miss Mary Geddes, Seaforth; Mr. and Mrs. S. GeddeS, Mrs. James P.

Used ny- lons are still needed in-Korea where war widows unravel the threads and make new mater- ials for sale to support their families. The church has pro- vided these widows with sew- ing machines. All six, seven and eight-year olds are asked to bring small flat stones in a little match box to the next meeting. The meeting closed, with a prayer of thanks in which the Messengers were reminded of the help Mrs. H. Johnston has given to the women's group and of the interest Rev. H. Johnston has taken in the church's youth groups. The "World Friends" maga- zine was distributed by Miss S. Graham to the members at the close of the meeting. Parents are asked to see that their children return all lib- rary books to the June meet- ing. Books should not be kept more than a, month.
